Supreme Court Devastates Dems With Blunt Ruling on Voter Fraud

Much to the dismay of many Democrats, the Supreme Court just upheld an Ohio law passed two years ago that makes it more difficult to commit voter fraud.

According to Newsmax, the 2014 law had abolished the practice known as “Golden Week,” which had allowed voters in Ohio — a key swing state — to register to vote and cast a ballot at the same time.

That law had been challenged by Democrats who called it too restrictive and oppressive of minorities, but the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals had upheld the law and was backed up by the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday.

“This much is perfectly clear: Ohio is a place where it is easy to vote and hard to cheat. In fact, with voting now slated to begin in less than a month for the November election, Ohio is one of the easiest states in the nation in which to register and cast your ballot,” read a statement from Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican.

The law had initially been blocked by a district judge who agreed with Democrat challengers that the law violated voters’ rights, but the appeals court had overturned that ruling. In the Supreme Court’s decision backing up the appeals court ruling, there was no mention of any dissenting opinion among the eight justices.

Ohio, typically an important swing state in general elections, also shortened its early voting period from 35 days to 29 days, again sparking outrage from Democrats who claimed the shortened period made it more difficult for minority voters to get to the polls. They didn’t explain how white voters seemingly have no problem getting to the polls during the shortened period.

As for the “Golden Week” that had been done away with in the 2014 law, it was put in place only after the 2004 election saw exceptionally long lines in some polling locations, which made voting difficult. It was estimated that some 60,000 people took advantage of Golden Week during the 2008 election, and 80,000 in 2012.

It is worth noting that there were many allegations of voter fraud in Ohio during those two elections.

The 2014 law that eliminated Golden Week had been challenged by both the American Civil Liberties Union and the NAACP.

It will be interesting to see how the election in Ohio plays out this year, now that voter fraud has been made more difficult.
